DAG Albert has been re-appointed as Ireland’s High Performance manager for eventing young riders and seniors.

A highly respected figure in international eventing, Albert brings a wealth of experience to the role, having previously held the position of High Performance manager for the HSI senior eventing programme and the eventing youth programmes.

A former Olympian, Albert has represented Sweden at the highest level of the sport, competing at the Olympic Games in both 1996 and 2008. Over the years, he has developed a strong reputation not only as a competitor but also as a coach and performance leader, guiding athletes across Europe and the UK to success on the international stage.

Albert’s appointment for 2025 will see him lead the development of Ireland’s senior eventing athletes, while also expanding his focus to include the vital Young Rider cohort, supporting Ireland’s pipeline of emerging talent as they transition toward senior ranks.

“I’m delighted to continue in the role as HP Manager,” Albert said. “Last season was a tremendous success for the senior eventers and I look forward to working with them as we build towards the Europeans this year. I’m also excited to be involved once again in the youth programme and to support their development throughout 2025.”

Speaking about the appointment, HSI’s Avalon Everett, Head of Sport, Legal and Governance said: “Dag has consistently demonstrated professionalism, insight, and a strong rapport with both our senior and youth athletes over the past number of years. We are pleased to re-engage his leadership within Irish eventing for the 2025 season.”
